accessing Page from Global function

Question

User-942143836 posted
Hi, Hopefully there is a simple answer to my question. I've already looked through .net framework and googled but I think I'm just missing it. On this method in the global.asax: protected void Application_AuthenticateRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) I thought it would be easy to do this: System.Web.UI.Page pg = (System.Web.UI.Page)sender; My logic apparently is off because that doesn't work. I want to access the Page attributes of the calling aspx file from the global methods. It seems simple enough. Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Is this just a totally stupid question? I want to maintain page id's but not through the query string. I'm thinking of using the url to retrieve a pageid from the database but I keep seeing the Page.ID property and I want to use it for something. Help appreciated!

Maybe I will just use a session variable instead. Probably make more sense. I would still appreciate feedback though.

You can store that kind of information in the Context.Items collection. I don't think the Page class actually exists at that point in the Request processing cycle.
